Hello everyone! ( actually I'm pretty sad now) I am at my hotel lobby writing this blog entry. Prett much, I'm at Kiruna, Swedish's lappland- A place where we booked very early just to see the Northen light- instead I SAW NOTHING. && there goes my money invested in this trip - the accomdation, the air tickets, food . :( But the snow was really thick, thicker than stockholm. Walking in the snow have become a hassle for me know. It's not like in Singapore when u can drag/skip/hop your feet. I have to look at every single step & apply pressure on it to make sure that my school is sink into the snow. Okay, I am not complaining- at least just something new for now. :) && there's no sun the whole day. I didnt see sun for 4 days already, worse than stockholm.
But on the brighter note, I'm at the arctic circle.
Climbing up the snow hill is easlier than climbing up the typical "Forest hill- like those covered with grass & soil "Because u can just slide now without feeling dirty, you are covered with all snow & even if you fall, it's not painful. The snow here is so deep that is' about half of my height.
The greatest regret for this trip is that we stone /waited for 10hours but northen light just dont want to come out. :( too cloudy. perhaps , Ithats so far the greatest regret till my instep journey now. But I went to the icehotel, with everything made of ice -water from the river nearby which is frozen to ice naturally,

Its always like, the person you had a crush on doesn't show interest in you,
but the person that you doesnt have a crush on , shows interest in you.
I started to wonder if it's that diffuclt to find a person that you like and he's feeling the same way as you do.
This is really bad. because i'm feeling its a one way cycle.
Hello everyone! Pretty much the same , but I guess , mabe getting fatter?
I know it's kind of ionic for me to say this, but I seriously miss the sunshine (not the hot element).
Seeing how heavy the snow is in Stockholm now really terrified me. The snow is 1/4 of my height & you have to really struggle to walk every single step.
Down the thick layer of snow/snow flakes, is a hard layer of ice which makes u slip & fall easily.
Scary. Everywhere is white, cloudy. You can't even recongise which one is the walking path, which one is the grass, which one the road. You just walk & walk & walk while you loook & look & look.
Sometimes, u cant even look around, because the snow & wind is too strong & the best way is to look down on the floor.
I was strucked at the communter train for 4 hours, the train stopped at every station for 1hour, bus service stopped too because of the bad weather.
Everywhere's white.
OH GOD. i hope i dont trip & fall down again & break my teeth(touch wood) or things like that.
on a positive mode, I like the cold!

While you are constantly learning other's people culture, you are learning yours at the same time.
Ever ever since I came over here, I have been spending countless hours googling about swedish culutre. Just so to better understand/ not to be judgemental/learn how to communciate with the swedes I meet &&& to solve certain issues that I chanced upon on and dont understand in daily life.
